### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the notes on Sefer Yetzirah, it means that the idea of a Hebrew root turns into real speech and things. Interpretation: The book sees speech and things as coming from the letters and roots. Tradition reads this as showing that language is itself a tool of creation.

### examples

- This way of thinking about language imbues the Hebrew root itself with a certain metaphysical reality, an entity from which more concrete instantions of individual words may ontologically descend and ultimately crystallize into concrete speech or material reality.
